Barcelona playing the long ball !!! ... what I saw was a team that passed the ball to Messi and he took the piss with the Liverpool defenders and midfielders ...offering on a plate goal scoring opportunities to his team mates...(especially in the last half hour-which they squandered)...
and by the way .... I noticed a bit of Carvalho in the Messi movement ... the difference was that our young one does it for 5-10 minutes over the 90 minutes (bar the odd game) .... but he has the potential to do it ... thats why I think that he will be more successful in more technical leagues like the Italian and the Spanish leagues ...
